Live Action Opens Up and Gets Blocked, Backhandedly Rectifying the Gaming Industry

Naughty Cat's response completely detonated the gaming circle, and even many media outside the gaming circle reported the news.

Although not everyone plays games, with Naughty Cat’s energy, basically everyone who plays games has played Naughty Cat games.

After this incident broke out, it caused an uproar.

After seeing the news, countless players indiscriminately

Blame giant hard companies.

Even some official media reprinted relevant news and reported this breaking news in an objective tone.

But no attitude has been expressed yet.

Faced with problems, the silent majority on the Internet burst out with amazing public opinion energy.

For the vast majority of Chinese players, no matter what the parent company of the giant hard company is.

But Naughty Cat is China’s own company!

It is the only company that allows Chinese games to go overseas to earn foreign exchange. When talking about games, everyone has to raise their thumbs and say "China No. 1" as a cultural export model company.

Do you still have to choose?

If there is a conflict, it must be the problem of Juhard Company, so why bother talking about it?

The outside world is expressing support and waiting for Naughty Cat to express its stance.

The Juhard Game Department at least issued a statement, saying something like, "I regret that I cannot reach a business agreement with Naughty Cat Entertainment Co., Ltd."

As for the naughty cat, he is unusually quiet and calm.

Lin Mo has recently focused all his energy on the new console.

The preparations for this matter were carried out in secret except for some core personnel, and the progress was rapid.

Three days later.

On this day, Lin Mo was about to continue working on the new console, but he received a visit that he did not expect at all.

From my childhood, Ito Makoto is the helmsman of Soni Games.

"What is he here for?"

Lin Mo didn't expect the reason why this stranger came to visit, but since he was here, he still wanted to meet him.

After meeting.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I have long admired your name."

Lin Mo can speak English but not Japanese. Fortunately, the other party brought a translator with a very good professional quality.

"Hello, Mr. Ito."

As he said that, Lin Mo couldn't help but glance at the other person's neck and take a look at the other person's face.

Unfortunately, there is not even the slightest resemblance to that old friend.

Realizing the look in his eyes, Ito Makoto asked with some confusion: "Is there anything rude about my face?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I have a friend who has the same name as you. I thought you would have some facial similarities."

"Then your friend must be very popular with the opposite sex?" Ito Makoto joked.

Lin Mo nodded and said: "Yes, he is very popular. I would like to ask, what is your wife's maiden name?"

"It's Sakata. What's the problem?"

"Oh, nothing."

Somewhat disappointed.

Then, neither of them was in a hurry and continued chatting along this topic.

Talk about love affairs, talk about history, talk about wherever you go.

Finally, when intentionally guiding the topic to the game.

Makoto Ito sighed and said: "The architectural design of this generation of PlaySquare consoles is not so friendly to development. The next generation will usher in a comprehensive upgrade, and it is already being designed. Mr. Lin, are you interested in playing a role in the new PlaySquare console? How about designing an exclusive work on the console?”

coming.

However, an invitation to develop an independent work?

This actually surprised Lin Mo.

"Sorry, Naughty Cat currently does not have any plans to develop independent games. If I change my mind, PlaySquare will be my first choice of partner."

However, after saying this polite refusal, it could be seen that Ito Makoto's face did not look depressed. Instead, he was still full of confidence, as if he was sure that the naughty cat would agree.

"Is that so? That's really a pity. I think we will reach cooperation. How about this, Mr. Lin's team can guide PlaySquare's first-party game development team?"

guide?

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

I have only heard of console manufacturers providing technical guidance to some relatively popular small and medium-sized game manufacturers. How can any major first-tier manufacturers provide guidance to each other?

They are all big manufacturers, and they are all leaders in the industry. Everyone has their own pride. If you let others guide you, doesn't that mean you are admitting that you are not as good as the other person?

It's more of a guide than hiring a naughty cat to play games?

He wasn't given much time to think.

"Mr. Lin, you don't know something. We are currently developing a post-apocalyptic survival RPG game with a linear plot and a small garden-style exploration. We really need some professional guidance, such as the production team of Resident Evil." With that, Ito Makoto took Handed a piece of information to Lin Mo, "You can take it away and read it slowly."

Lin Mo flipped through it and found some information about the game, some simple information that was not confidential.

For example, the appearance of zombies, the settings of weapons, some map sketches, etc.

Simply put, it is telling people who read the information what kind of game this is.

It looked pretty good, but Lin Mo still shook his head and said, "If Souni needs it, you can ask the potato factory for guidance."

"No, no, no, they can't." Ito Makoto's expression was very sincere, "This game exists to win the console war. I guess Mr. Lin, you must also be very aware of the tyrannical behavior of the giant smoke companies, right? If there is no XGame, It’s a good thing for all gaming companies.”

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Sorry, the members of the Resident Evil team are all busy with projects and can't get away for the time being."

"Really?" Ito Makoto looked puzzled, "Juying Company has rejected Naughty Cat's cooperation. Is there still so much work to do?"

Lin Mo didn't speak, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became a little cold.

This doesn't sound right.

"I have my own work, so don't bother."

"Really?" Ito Makoto sighed and shook his head, "I think it's better for us to cooperate. Otherwise, Naughty Cat may have less work in the future."

The tone is a little different.

When these words came out, the translator was obviously stunned.

With such a strong quality, he actually stuttered when translating this sentence with simple grammar.

Lin Mo sneered. At this time, he no longer needed to consider the other party's intentions, because he had made it clear enough.

It was no longer a hint, but a naked threat.

"Mr. Ito, it seems that Souni has bad intentions this time."

Ito Makoto looked like an old fox, his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes piled together.

"No, no, no, Souni came with sincerity. I really just want to reach a cooperation with Naughty Cat, just for the game exclusive. Believe me, Souni is generous enough to companies willing to release exclusive games on PlaySquare."

Lin Mo was unmoved and said lightly: "What if I refuse."

"Refuse? Then there is nothing I can do." Ito Makoto sighed, "Even if it is Naughty Cat, its game sales have lost half of their sales out of thin air. I guess it will be very troubled, right? I said, we will reach a cooperation."

Silence, a long silence.

Ito Makoto drank tea leisurely, not in a hurry to reply.

The atmosphere in the room was very depressing, and the translator couldn't help swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva.

Without the income of XGame, the overall revenue of Naughty Cat is only about 75% of the previous one.

If PlaySquare's 25% is reduced, wouldn't it be half left?

This is basically a blatant threat.

It's like saying that if you don't cooperate to launch high-quality exclusive game masterpieces, then your Naughty Cat game won't even be on PlaySquare!

Lin Mo looked at him for a few seconds, and suddenly sneered: "You are really birds of a feather. So, the triangle is stable."

Ito Makoto obviously didn't understand this sentence, but he didn't ask.

He just put the teacup on the table and said slowly: "Mr. Lin doesn't have to rush to make a decision. After all, it involves half of the company's revenue. I suggest you think about the consequences of a broken capital chain, what will happen to Naughty Cat, and what will happen to the companies invested in. You have enough time to think about it."

"No, I can give you the answer now."

As he said that, Lin Mo slowly stood up, tore the information just handed to him in half, and threw it into the trash can.

"Naughty Cat's game may be exclusive, but it will not be on PlaySquare or XGame."

Then he walked out without stopping.

"Wait!"

Ito Makoto didn't expect the meeting to turn out like this. He stood up and said, "I'm not kidding you. Naughty Cat Games will really be sold on PlaySquare. Hey! Qiudou Sack!! Hey!"

Bang.

The door was opened and closed.

Without stopping or hesitating, he left.

Left? !

He left without even waiting for the translator to translate the last sentence into Chinese?

"Asshole!"

Ito Makoto cursed, angrily stepped on the scraps of paper on the ground, and sat down cursing.

"Why do you dare!!"

He took the teacup on the table and drank a few sips. Only then did he calm down and began to think about some details in the words just now.

There are only two consoles still alive in the world.

PlaySquare and XGame.

I thought Naughty Cat had been hurt after the breakup with XGame, and didn't dare to break up with PlaySquare again.

It was the best opportunity to use this bargaining chip to negotiate cooperation with Naughty Cat, negotiate several exclusive games, and squeeze XGame's living space.

But unexpectedly, it was still rejected.

Now, offending both host platforms at the same time is equivalent to giving up the game market outside China and giving up half of the sales revenue of its games.

Don't you feel bad?

Today's Naughty Cat is still expanding rapidly every day.

If the capital chain is suddenly broken, it will be fatal.

How dare you give up the PlaySquare platform again?

Think about what Lin Mo said when he left.

"Maybe exclusives will be launched, but not PlaySquare or XGame. Is there a third host? No."

"Could it be that Lin Mo plans to make his own host?! Ha. How is it possible? What a joke. Not every company has such excellent software and hardware research and development capabilities as Souni."

"You want to die? Then I will fulfill your wish! What game empire is just a castle in the air built on hardware!"

Ito Makoto snorted coldly and made a decision.

"Lin Mo, huh, you're also betting that Souni won't dare to remove your game completely, right? You're wrong. Genius, you'll destroy Naughty Cat with your own hands."

Two days later.

Players are still waiting for the official announcement from Naughty Cat regarding the removal of all the games from XGame.

As a result, some PlaySquare console players heard even more shocking news at a press conference held by Souni.

"We call on our peers in the gaming industry to develop some positive games and reject games with racial discrimination, bloody and horrific content. Souni will temporarily remove games of this type or warn them to modify them within a limited time. The list of games ordered to be removed is as follows, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Resident Evil series, and Dead by Daylight."

On the same day, another piece of news quickly became a hot search.

[Oh my god! ! I was still laughing at those who played XGame yesterday, and today my house collapsed]

[Damn it! What's going on! I just finished the third chapter of Call of Duty, damn, I haven't had time to get platinum yet! ]

[Fuck, Souni, what are you crazy about? ! Are you sick? ]

[I’m really pissed, can you let people play the game properly?]

[Where’s Naughty Cat, come out and speak!!!]

[Naughty Cat won’t be ruined just like that, will it? The future income will be halved now?]

[Even if you are ruined, Naughty Cat won’t be ruined]

After the news came out on that day, although it was nominally rectified within a limited time or temporarily removed from the shelves.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the same as the situation with XGame!

Naughty Cat has always been stubborn, and as long as the Chinese review agency approves, it will never modify the game content.

But this time, fans hope that Naughty Cat will give in.

This is not a joke!

This wave of injuries may be minor, maybe half of his life will be gone.

When faced with a disaster, some people applauded, some people thought about how to bite off a piece of meat, and some people wished that Naughty Cat would be buried quickly.

The official media also reported the news very restrainedly.

However, this time the host’s script was obviously more content, and it took longer to read than the last time.

Everyone was looking forward to the official announcement of Naughty Cat, but what they got was the landing of a charity project of Naughty Cat, and no useful information was obtained.

On this day, Naughty Cat had another visitor.

But this time, it was an old friend.

"Old Wang, what brings you here? Your daughter is not on this floor."

Wang Zhicheng glanced at Lin Mo unhappily and said, "Can't I see my daughter at home? Do you need to come to the company? I'm here to find you."

Although he didn't say it, he was actually a little surprised.

I thought that the successive blows would make this young man known as a genius sink, but I didn't expect that he was still so confident and didn't care about this matter at all.

"Looking for me? If you mention marrying your daughter to me again, I will let the security guard kick you out." Lin Mo made a joke.

Wang Zhicheng rolled his eyes and said in a bad tone, "What time is it? You are still complaining here. The company is in this situation, aren't you anxious at all?"

Lin Mo spread his hands and said, "What can I do if I am anxious? Should I ask Ito Makoto and West for help? It's useless."

Wang Zhicheng was silent for a few seconds, and said leisurely, "Is there a possibility that you are not fighting alone? Sometimes when you encounter a problem that you can't solve, you can ask for help."

Lin Mo glanced at Lao Wang today.

The biggest difference from his previous visits was that today he brought an expired badge, which was the badge that Lao Wang wore as an official representative when the Tourism Committee held an event last time.

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Thank you for the interest-free loan opportunity provided by the organization, but I really don't need it at the moment."

Lao Wang said seriously, "What I mean is that there are more things that can help you than just loans."

The badge of the Tourism Committee on his chest was particularly eye-catching.

Lin Mo was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "Thank you for your concern. However, I really don't need it. It is a danger but also an opportunity. I can help Naughty Cat through it, you can rest assured." (End of this chapter)
